We could only be so lucky. Sadly both it and web apps are here for a while.

Just for reference: XML = eXtensible Markup Language XHTML = eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language the W3C considers XPath a language, check their website. asp.net is admittedly a framework, but its just like html with tag namespaces, and should be considered an independent language. CSS is a stylesheet language, here is a PhD paper on stylesheet languages from the Opera website: http://people.opera.com/howcome/2006/phd/[^]

Fratttaro, I don't think you got a copy of the lastest memo. You see, we're using WCF and LINQ for data access. We are also making Silver Light versions of our web pages. You also need to use CAML to put your data in sharepoint. And you'll need to make a sharepoint web part so that the grid can be put in sharepoint. Also, Reports and data export are necessary, so you'll need to become proficient with SSRS and SSIS. It is also a requirement that every web page has regular expressions for validation. Didn't you get that memo?

Web + "HTML Application" = absurd. Of course your need a UI, but our web application, using extJS, renders UI elements straight into the DOM, cutting most of our HTML code down to a few tags to include the frame work. If I define a form panel 'item' as <pre> { xtype : 'textfield', fieldLabel : 'Client Surname', name : 'surname' } </pre> I see a neat label and textbox, that knows if its been changed, and automatically reads and writes from and to the 'surname' field in it's data store. No HTML until the DOM spits it out on the 'other side'. <div style="display:none;" class="CPhogPost"></div> <div class="ForumSig"></div>

haha, nice, i completely forgot about the nightmare that is regex

Well what I'm really whining about is trying to write network apps on top of a protocol that was never ever designed for it. What needs to happen is HTTP 2.0, but that's about as likely as cats making love to dogs.

XML (and all its bastard variants) is a markup specification. It's not a language. ASP.Net is a collection of technologies ("classic" ASP wasn't a language either) that serves as a vehicle for allowing web pages utilize Microsoft proprietary scripting languages. CSS can't be considered a language because it has no control functionality. Declarative programming is akin to vocalized grunts that serve no specific purpose.

All of those, if they count as languages, XML sure doesn't. Plus C++, and Objective C. And if XML counts, I guess XAML does, too.
